I love this kid. Lets land Carton and then seal the deal with wilson and leave one spot for a wing. Wilson is kind of a wing but more a four. I’d love to see carton, wilson and then brooks/weems/williamson. Id prefer brooks, but hell if we can make leeway with weems his style might fit best with the other two. He’d be the raw athlete with solid skill to pair with two solid athletes who are very skilled. Two great offensive players and then a great defender/slasher/re bounder in the form of a bigger matthews. It would be a great trio.

Id still prefer brooks though. Kid is a well rounded monster. IF we got carton, wilson, and brooks id be very excited. Those three paired with the five we brought in for 18 would pretty much have us locked in as title contenders for the next three years.

Just to lend credence to that, how many years in a row have we had a transfer from our program? I dont advocate for speculation for which players transfer, but it isnt an unreasonable assumption that one nameless player will leave

Splitting hairs, but I think that the inclusion of Dakich should include an asterisk since his situation had zero impact on our scholarship situation. No one cares that Brent the Barber is transferring for the same reason.

Dude your initial post I replied to literally mentioned the idea of someone leaving the roster. And as everyone else has said, including Dylan, we’ve had attrition from the roster every year for the past 4 or so years.

Sure saying Brooks is a guess where there’s a high chance he ends up staying. There’s an entire year to play and we know how 2nd year PGs develop under Beilein. But considering we’re going heavy after Carton, a PG, if he comes we’d have 4 PGs on next years roster. Even with 3 that’s a likely spot for attrition, with 4 almost definite.

Once again saying Brooks is a guess and very well likely could be wrong. But he doesn’t offer a lot of positional flexibility, not big enough to he a wing or even a 2 so the best you can do with him is run 2 PG sets. He was the most lightly recruited PG on the roster. He would be 2 years in and didn’t play much or look good this past year. With Simpson being a junior it seems like the best Brooks could do now is start his senior year but that’s assuming someone else doesn’t pass him.

Maybe Brooks blows up this year and starts over Z. But you brought up the idea of someone leaving the roster, and I put forward Brooks. Sure it’s a guess, but it’s a fairly logical conclusion.
